Not to have realised until now that Joey Maynard’s ‘displaced organ’ was a prolapse?

[QuaterMiss]

I know there is or was an enormous Chalet School thread but I can’t spend six weeks trawling through that.

Fascinated to note (because I’ve been reading the complete synopses how all the CS women taken seriously ill either went straight to the San or journeyed - over days - for a consultation with Sir James Talbot. It was he who diagnosed said ‘displaced organ’. At which point Joey had iirc nine children. May be wrong, lost count.

(I read and reread the entire series over my first three decades.)

@BertrandRussell

Anyone who wants the link pm me before the Rafa/Nick match finishes and i’ll send it this evening.

Yes please to the link. Sorry am using my phone and can't work out how to PM on it.

Thank you

@XXcstatic sent!

Is there anyone who wants it who hasn’t got it?

yes please would love to reread

Me!

I haven't been sent it - will try to pm you.

Quartz and Quartar- sent.

Bassclef- done

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you so much

Thank you

I am also going to search and see how many I have (at my parents house) and I think I am only missing a few. Jo to the Rescue must be one though as that plot is not familiar at all

Bertrand, just checking, did you send the details to:

@QuaterMiss

You have deadlines?

Are you the Editor of The Times, perchance?

Anyway - reading CS books is far more important than deadlines and looking after DC in my opinion so I would say Go For It.

@Quartz2208

I haven't read Jo to the Rescue either.

I consider that Jo ought to rescue her own, unfortunate maid-servant, who does all her housework, cooking and childcare while Jo swans off and eats Kuchen with the mistresses of the CS, who are similarly neglectful of their duties.

I wish I had a job where eating cakes was part of the job description.

I’m still a straggler - pretty please can I have the link?

Been meaning to do a re-read of my CS books. Have them in a box somewhere. I was beyond excited last year when I realised I was going on holiday near Pertisau in Austria where the first few books are set. No-one else in the family quite got my enthusiasm :-)

Papergirl/Bertrand, may I have the link too, pretty please? I need to read it while wrestling with my delightfully chintzy sprigged curtains...

I’d love the link too. Sorry to add more to the load.

Bertrand, I’ve just sent the details to the last three, Tails, Flouncy and Deeply...

Gah! Now trying to remember what Jo's Anna is always called.
Something like her faithful factotum or major domo or something.

Since Jo was always sticky-beaking into CS business, writing millions of books, winding her hair into that godawful style, etc, it meant that Anna was single-handedly running a huge household, cooking, cleaning, laundering.....
Still. As long as Jo didn't have to do it.

And have sent to Laurie too

The faithful Anna. And the coajutator? Something like that? Don’t think it’s quite right.
I think in one of the books Anna has a young man but decides against marrying him to stay and help Jo!
